WE THE ITALIANS
Presented by Umberto Mucci

The book is a selection of the best 100 interviews conducted over a period of four years by the author, either in the US or in Italy, for the online platform, “We The Italians”. Each interview is a tiny brick of the wall that shows that when Italy and the US meet and work together, the outcome is wonderful and several good things happen.
Dr. Joseph V. Scelsa, Founder and President of the Italian American Museum; Maria Teresa Cometto, Author of the Exhibition, “Make in Italy. 50 Years of Italian Innovation”; Berardo Paradiso, President of IACE, Italian American Committee on Education; Anna Lisa Liuzzo, lawyer and member of the Board of Directors of the Italy-America Chamber of Commerce; and Stephen A. Briganti, President and CEO of the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation will join the author.
